Hi all,
Does anyone have a rough idea on price/hours needed for a head gasket replacement for a 2006 D5 185 for an XC70 using Skimmed head and new genuine Volvo bolts. Cheers in advance ![]() |

What makes you think the Head gasket has " Gone" ? They are multi layer steel plates which cant "go" .. I would expect to find something more serious if there is a leak between head and block ... There are various thicknesses of gasket depending on the piston heights . you can tell which one you need by the number of punched 4 mm holes on a tab in one corner.. Volvo do not recommend head skimming on a diesel for obvious reasons .. 👍

I’ve been in a year long dispute with a garage I bought my old XC70 from after it lost coolant and Plummer white smoke, this is what they diagnosed it with Cheers |

They won't know until they take the head off , but be wary it could have a cracked cylinder liner at the top where the head seals .

No A cracked liner is a new or second hand cylinder block ... worst case scenario of course but worth factoring in ..
